Our school system had been searching for an affordable solution to increase communication with all stakeholders in our school community. After much research, our system selected SchoolCast. We have been more than pleased with our decision! SchoolCast has delivered on EVERY promise from no annual fee increases to unlimited support.”

Joy T., Ed.D.

By using SchoolCast to make our attendance calls, our secretaries spend less time on the phone, giving them more time to work on other projects. Most important, SchoolCast is a contributing factor to improved attendance. When a parent receives the call from Schoolcast, they often call their children and tell them to get to school!”

Schoolcast is the most user friendly and dependable product that I have ever used in the area of mass communication. It will literally send out over 10,000 calls in less than a minute. The service department is always accessible to answer questions or to quickly remedy any problems that might exist. The mobile app makes it very convenient for use while out of the office or during an emergency when communication must take place quickly. I would without hesitation recommend this product to anyone who needs rapid mass communication right at their finger tips.”

SchoolCast has become an essential part of the Rhea County School’s communication system from the district office, individual schools, and extra-curricular organizations. High Grounds Solutions has continued to meet, and even exceed, our expectations each and every year since we began our partnership in 2006. We could not be happier with their product, service, and commitment and look forward to benefiting from their product for many years to come.”

Ray F.
Supervisor of Elementary Education
Rhea County Schools

As a high school principal, I find it necessary to keep our parents informed about school business. I have a distribution list of parent emails, but unfortunately, only about half of the parents are on the list. School Cast is a fast, efficient way to reach all of the parents with important information. It is especially useful in times of emergencies such as school closings for bad weather. School Cast is reliable and easy to use. We love it!.”

Cheryl K.
Principal
Moody High School
St. Clair County Public Schools

Time and again, parents tell us they love getting SchoolCast messages, especially during times of inclement weather or major announcements. SchoolCast’s automated integration with PowerSchool, our student information system, also allows us to keep our communications database up to date at all times with little effort. I highly recommend it.”

The Schoolcast rapid notification system has been and is an invaluable asset for our the Escambia County School System in providing immediate dispersal of information and notification to all our employees, students, parents, and stakeholders. From notifications to parents about conferences and school events to school closings, etc., the system communicates instantly using a variety of approaches. Also, the program is extremely user-friendly and the Schoolcast staff are always there for immediate support.

Using our SchoolCast rapid alert product, certainly has helped the Dale County School System keep our parents and stakeholders better informed. We use it for announcements, daily attendance calls, low lunch balance notices and such. However, during times of emergency or crises, like what happened this past year, SchoolCast was instrumental to me to let our folks know what was happening and stay ahead of rumors.”

High Ground Solutions “Schoolcast” alert system just flat out WORKS! It ties in with our SIS [Student Information System] and makes us so efficient when it comes to adding news student into the SchoolCast database. It populates names, phone numbers each evening automatically! Can you say SWEET! Creating SchoolCast Alert calls is so easy. Schoolcast Alert calls can be sent in almost any form i.e., Voice, Text To Speech, email, text message, ALL methods, text message and email. Tech support is outstanding and right here in the U.S.A. Tiana Jacobs and Shaun Tillery should be the poster people for what great, competent tech support should be.”

If we have an announcement, reminder, or cancellation, I do not have to worry if everyone got the message because I can follow the calls from the online Website or the Mobile Command Center app. When we are traveling, I can make announcements about the next day’s schedule to every student at once instead of going to all four buses or 40 hotel rooms. We are now using the SMS/text message feature to deliver a message that parents or students can keep and refer to for weekly schedules. What a time saver!”

Brad D.

SchoolCast is an excellent school communication tool! Using SchoolCast provides an additional opportunity to build partnerships with parents, deliver important school information in a timely manner, and keep parents connected. The school-wide use of this programs builds capacity for parent involvement which helps support student achievement and school initiatives.

Regina B.

I love the fact that I can call from my cell and reach faculty/staff, and parents in a matter of minutes. I can choose whether the message to be sent is emergency or non-emergency. It is a no hassle way to get info out fast! The SchoolCast App for my iPhone is also a handy tool. My parents have expressed how helpful it is to receive reminders regarding important school events/information.”

We love SchoolCast. It allows me instant communication with parents, students, and staff. Our school system adopted SchoolCast several years ago and added our band too.

Brad D.

Many grants and other opportunities now require that a school receive the most “votes” in order to win. Our system used SchoolCast on two occasions to notify parents of these opportunities. As a result, our middle school was awarded a mini-grant for computer equipment, and our high school football team won Game of the Week from Fox 5 Atlanta.”

Joy T., Ed.D.
Assistant Superintendent

“There have been several occasions when it was necessary to suddenly close our school because of a dangerous storm headed our way. Contacting parents of all children quickly and efficiently was very important and was easily accomplished with PreSchoolCast. I highly recommend it to any organization that needs to contact large numbers of people at a moment’s notice.”

Charlotte R.
Kids First Director
Kids First, FUMC

“We have come to depend on the ease, convenience, and quality of the service provided by High Ground Solutions. I can remember a morning when I woke up with snow on the ground. What a luxury it was to be able to contact a hundred and fifty people with just one phone call from my home in my pajamas to let them know our child care center would be closed for the day!”

Charlotte R.
Kids First Director
Kids First, FUMC

“PreSchoolCast makes calling all the parents and staff in the event of a weather event, or school closing, so much easier. We also use it to contact parents concerning school programs or parties. It is easy to use and very effective.”

“We have had the privilege of using the CampusCast emergency notification system since 2008. It is an affordable and highly effective tool for getting out emergency or non-emergency notifications. The on-site training for the system was great as well as the prompt attention to service. We have used the system on several occasions to inform students of school closings due to bad weather. I highly recommend CampusCast to other community colleges and schools. The ease of use and speedy response time for communicating messages to our students is wonderful.”

We are very pleased with the ease of the system, response time of customer service reps, and the relationship built with our account manager. In a time of emergency when we needed to send information out to thousands of people within minutes, Church Cast gave us that. It is a great communication tool that has been an asset to our organization.”

“ChurchCast has been phenomenal for our church. It has opened our doors of communications greatly! The flexibility of being able to send church-wide messages from anywhere at any time , we couldn’t ask for better!”

“In today’s world, it is important to get information in real time. Rapid Cast is the perfect tool for getting your message out and it is easy to use.”

Michaeline G.

“Rapid Cast has proven to be a very helpful tool allowing us to communicate with our customers and employees. When circumstances arise we can advise them when we are experiencing electric outages, water line breaks, street closings or emergencies, etc. We also send out announcements to advise of special meetings or events within the community. We signed up with High Ground Solutions (RapidCast) a year ago and have been pleased with the service we have received and the ongoing support that is available”

Pam S.
Wagoner Public Works Authority

“After the tornado outbreak of April 2011, we began to search for different methods of mass communication to our employees. We found RapidCast and began researching the benefits of having a mass communication system for our company. The implementation process was extremely easy and the support from RapidCast personnel was great ! The endless options available for grouping and alerting personnel were extremely helpful in eliminating the need for pagers. If you are looking for a communication tool, with great support personnel a phone call away, I would recommend RapidCast! ”

“As a company with presence in several counties, we needed the capability to have polygon-based weather alerts to notify various offices and staff of severe weather inbound to their location. RapidCast created a Weather Monitor product that allowed us to configure these alerts to staff. We are able to reach people via SMS messages or phone calls with these alerts, automatically, quickly, and without any action on our part. We also use the system to make outbound announcements of either pre-recorded or ad-hoc messages, such as meeting reminders and special notifications. It’s a real time-saver in emergency situations, allowing our switchboard operators to make one call to generate many calls to staff, instead of having to make each of these calls themselves. The ability to check delivery of the messages online gives us instant feedback on who’s received the messages. ”

“The Dayton Youth Baseball has benefited from the SportsCast system tremendously. Being able to announce cancellations or changes to the scheduling has made the job much easier and less time consuming. Contacting coaches and players is just one call. We can also group the kids by team. It’s a big time-saver.”

“Mall Cast is a great tool. Like all tools, it is only as good as the person using it. We use Mall Cast at two malls. Usage was slow to begin with, but each time we used it, or didn’t — but should have — the directors gradually began to see the value of it. As a result, I’ve seen usage increase over the year.”

Barry S., SCSM
General Manager
CBL & Associates Management, Inc.

“We’ve found the MallCast system a great benefit to our tenants to provide a conduit for instant communication to our more than 170 tenants. It’s been used for a wide range of activities from snow emergencies to mall wide events. We really appreciate having such an easy to use web-based tool that we can be accessed from anywhere and keep our tenants informed.”

“My students said it was faster, and they liked how easy it was to make changes to answers before submitting the test. One student pointed out that when she had to make corrections using the previous system, she always worried whether or not she had erased an answer well enough so that there would be no misunderstanding. She loved the fact that there were no erasures involved with the new system.”

“Our students loved the online testing and so did I. The students seem to have no problems navigating the sections and I loved the process of not having to mail anything back to be hand graded. Thumbs up on the online testing!!! Hope to have more participate next year!”

M.C.

“Our school has been using TestPoint as an entrance exam for about four years. It has been a great tool in assessing new students entering our school to verify that they could meet the academic challenges in our classrooms. It has also proven to be advantageous to these student’s parents to see in what areas their child may be weak or may be excelled. It shows our prospective families that we take seriously the academic standing of all the students in our school. This online test has proven to be very valuable to our school.”

Belinda C.

“I thought it was great!! It was very easy to navigate. I didn’t have to copy each test in case they got lost in the mail. I didn’t have to mail them! As far as I am concerned, all pluses!!”

P.E.

“The test ordering was easy, and the instructions for helping students log on and take the test were very clear. I think our students enjoyed taking the tests online. I know I enjoyed not having to copy and mail tests and answers back.”
